Whats Been Happening Lately

    Visited the 18th President homesite on Sunday, July 16, on our way home.  We took our granddaughter Payton home after her short summer visit.  We did a little road trip on the way to Illinois with stops at Caddie Woodlawn home, Laura Ingalls Wilder house and then stayed on the Great River Road.

 

 

  With stops at two Wisconsin Historical site, Villa Louis, Prairie du Chen and Stonefield, Cassville, WI.

          My new goal is to update my president home, museum and library visits as well as to keep track of the submarine museums.  First I have to figure out how to do this.

Reflections

Relaxing by the lake after a dirty day cleaning up the yard with the leaf sucker upper.  The yard looks fantastic but the driver of the lawn tractor is a mess.  What better place to relax than by the lake enjoying the peace and quiet and reflections on the lake.

I forgot to post that the lake finally opened April 1.

Lake Almost Open

it doesn't look lie it in the photos but it is getting there.  Raining here today.

One more thing, I wanted to post my Easter table setting.

First Day of Spring

On March 11, it looked like spring was on it way.

Flowers were sprouting, the ground almost bare and then

one week later this, Spring has not sprung and they say we could get more snow this Wednesday.

One of the Many Things I'm Working

I didn't finish in time for Valentines Day.  I have fabric cut for four placemats but my goal was to finish just two for Valentine but I ran out of small squares on the second placemat.  If I had enough fabric squares, I still wouldn't have met my goal.  Oh well........
